Title: The Russians and the missing weapons in Iraq
Post by: Otto on October 27, 2004, 11:07:27 PM
You heard it here first :)

There's a problem with the link to the Washington Times:(

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20041028-122637-6257r.htm

This is all I could copy, not sure if it's accruate:

GERTZ // THURSDAY // WASH TIMES: Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned. John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, “almost certainly” removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad.

kinda agree w/ pongo.  If this were still the cold war...sure why not.  What would the russians have to benifit from this.

They know that Iraq is gonna get rolled on.  They know that the "Oil for food" scandle is gonna become public.  Why would they risk this?

OTOH, if this is the truth....makes you wonder what else they moved

Russia is not evil, but neither are the French. Who knows what the hell happened?

I'm just guessing, but I'd say the crap was moved before we got to the area. Even Saddam's own records suggest some movement of the HE in comms to the UN.

It's just an old story resurected in a Presidential race.... nobody in America really gives a rats arse about it because we know it's bs on some level.

Now I'll not be surprised if mr. Shaw will jump out of the window screaming "Russians are coming!!!"

One question: do average people in America believe this hallucinations?

Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned.


"The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units," Mr. Shaw said. "Their main job was to shred all evidence of any of the contractual arrangements they had with the Iraqis. The others were transportation units."


The Pentagon said there was no evidence of large-scale movement of explosives from the facility after April 6.
    "The movement of 377 tons of heavy ordnance would have required dozens of heavy trucks and equipment moving along the same roadways as U.S. combat divisions occupied continually for weeks prior to and subsequent to the 3rd Infantry Division's arrival at the facility," the statement said.

gee... I guess if I was working for the sadman and had supplied him with questionable weapons and the U.S. was gearing up to kick my bosses butt and then find weapons and take names...


I might slip out the back door with the stuff too... maybe even turn a profit on it from someone who wanted the stuff like the syraians.    

probly will find empty vodka bottles all over this story.

I think mr. Shaw (if he exists) uses some mind-extending substances stronger then vodka.

This stupid story simply fits into mass propaganda because everyone knows that Russians are evil, they killed Kennedy and crusified Christ. Goes right along with pet bears, fur hats and vodka instead of tea.

This is looking worse for the bushhaters and kerry every minute

http://www.abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=204304&page=1

But the confidential IAEA documents obtained by ABC News show that on Jan. 14, 2003, the agency's inspectors recorded that just over three tons of RDX were stored at the facility — a considerable discrepancy from what the Iraqis reported.

The IAEA documents could mean that 138 tons of explosives were removed from the facility long before the United States launched "Operation Iraqi Freedom" in March 2003.

Group Claims It Has al-Qaqaa Explosives
Thursday, October 28, 2004
 
 BAGHDAD, Iraq  — An armed group claimed in a video Thursday to have obtained a large amount of explosives missing from a munitions depot facility in Iraq (search) and threatened to use them against foreign troops.

A group calling itself Al-Islam's Army Brigades (search), Al-Karar Brigade, said it had coordinated with officers and soldiers of "the American intelligence" to obtain a "huge amount of the explosives that were in the al-Qaqaa (search) facility."

The claim couldn't be independently verified. The speaker was surrounded by masked, armed men standing in front of a black banner with the group's name on it in the tape obtained by Associated Press Television News.

"We promise God and the Iraqi people that we will use it against the occupation forces and those who cooperate with them in the event of these forces threatening any Iraqi city," the man added.

Nearly 400 tons of conventional explosives have disappeared from the al-Qaqaa facility south of Baghdad, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The U.N. agency's chief Mohamed ElBaradei,reported the disappearance to the U.N. Security Council on Monday, two weeks after Iraqi officials told the nuclear agency that 377 tons of explosives had vanished as a result of "theft and looting ... due to lack of security."

The only place where its real valuable is in Iraq to  the insurgents. By the looks of what has happend, they have gotten plenty of C4 from somewhere...
wonder where they got it?

These are the same Russians who've endorsed Bush for president, right?  If this story is true, it does not vindicate the administration; if anything, I find it far more disturbing that we would allow such a close "ally" to behave in such a demonstrably dangerous manner by giving almost 400 tons of very dangerous explosives to a country with a clear history of sponsoring and/or tolerating terrorist organizations.

"We have an undersecretary of Defense roaming the countryside. We need to locate and secure him."

Read this (http://www.needlenose.com/pMachineFree2.2.1/comments.php?id=1438_0_1_0_C14)

A senior Defense Department official conducted unauthorized investigations of Iraq reconstruction efforts and used their results to push for lucrative contracts for friends and their business clients, according to current and former Pentagon officials and documents.

John A. "Jack" Shaw, deputy undersecretary for international technology security, represented himself as an agent of the Pentagon's inspector general in conducting the investigations this year, sources said.

In one case, Shaw disguised himself as an employee of Halliburton Co. and gained access to a port in southern Iraq after he was denied entry by the U.S. military, the sources said.

tod.. I don't think the russians were endorsing Bush for anything before the invasion started...  seems they were trying to get him from invading.... seems they endorsed hoim after nothing was found and now.... who knows?    

wulfie... I do believe that the U.S. and probly the world is a safer place...   I think that getting rid of the sadman was a good thing and that having all the terrorists concentrating on overthrowing the iraq effort is much better for us and the world than them trying to skyjack passenger liner missles or make fertilizer bombs or mail anthrax or any of a number of pesky things...

I think the more countries that either no longer want them around or simply are afraid to have them around the better.

I don't worry about a hundred dirt poor terrorists sitting around a broken down mud huts 1950's dinnette set and watching their AK's rust...  I do worry about them being financed by a country.

moving all of iraqs weapons to syria is better than having em in both countries..

in my opinion.

Lazs, that's just the thing - we haven't seen a mass exodus of terrorists (or maybe they slipped through out through our customs - which would be very scary) from the US. The Al Qaeda hijackers were in the states for several years.

The majority, if not all, of the terrorists over there in Iraq were in the middle east and Iraqies.

The number one terrorist threat to the US is Al Qaeda, and they're probably just sitting around in our own backyards plotting.

The battleground over there that was created for terrorists is just local terrorists that in many cases the war created.

If these weapons went into Syria and/or Iran, the world is not any safer.
